And that's why I stressed that I wasn't having a dig at the original poster............just making a general point around the ensuing comments. Not the right place for this, and it's all been said before, so I'll let the guy get on with looking for a 12" of it. Cheers, Mark R

But to the best of my knowledge this must be a boot. If that's right, this is the bit I just don't get.........when people say OVO only, is that what theey really mean, or do they really mean it's vinyl at all costs etc? Cheers, Mark R

Just play the CD........it's all bullshit.......I thought it was an original format scene..........oh, unless the original format is CD! Jeez......... P.S. I'm not having a dig at the poor fella who simply asked about a 12" version......just making a general point... Cheers, Mark R

Probably only relevant for fans of the blue-eyed sound of Steely Dan, but if you do like that kind of thing, you're likely to consider this as superb........... https://www.firstexperiencerecords.com/product-detail///Dwitza+Music/Ed+Motta/AOR+-+LP+Vinyl/vinyl/3874 Cheers, Mark R

As you can see, I've enjoyed picking my tunes up this week............. https://www.firstexperiencerecords.com/product-detail/Collectors/83/Blue+Note+/Gregory+Porter/Liquid+Spirit+-+LP+Vinyl/vinyl/3951 Cheers, Mark R

A major surprise as it's on via Sony............. https://www.firstexperiencerecords.com/product-detail/New+Release/82/Legacy/Earth%2C+Wind+%26+Fire/Now%2C+Then+%26+Forever+-+LP+Vinyl/vinyl/3939 Cheers, Mark R

Definitely no vinyl available on this. I'd be amazed if Soul Sam hasn't got a 7" carver of this, but no official vinyl release I'm afraid! Cheers, Mark R

Last of a batch of tapes I've converted to digital. I don't want to be accused of prolonging the yearly September Casino onslaught, and hope that people think that 40 years of celebrations is enough, but this is timely and sort of relevant. Hardly a Casino type atmosphere, but an interesting event to have elements of captured like this. Not all Wigan oldies though........the first track is a good example, here played covered up, it went on to be probably THE classic 60's newie from the Stafford era.......this was the first time I'd heard it, as a mate came over and said "wait until you hear this track Minshull's gonna play in a minute". Anyway, DJ's here are Keith Minshull, Dave Evison, a track apiece from Tony Clayton (not a Wigan jock I know!) and Steve Whittle, and closed out by lots of Brian Rae's closing spot. See Pete S, I don't just criticise, and I have come to the table with some of my own tapes!! LOL https://www.mixcloud.com/soulboymark/hinckley-all-niter-wigan-casino-10th-anniversary-7-october-1983/ Cheers, Mark R

Question for Mark Freeman, is that Greeny @20secs in? Cheer, Mark R

I've got that Pete, and another volume too, plus some of the NS gatefold doubles............well done mate, I love Stevens & Foster and completely forgot it was on there!! Cheers, Mark R

Hi Dave.....interesting as it said 1 left when I ordered mine! Good for you then. ..... Cheers, Mark R

Now out of stock at Amazon! :-) Cheers, Mark R

Another live recording to share with you, and quite different to the Old Vic one, this one being largely oldies based, though there is a nice little 70's spot at the end by Dave Evison. Hope you enjoy it!! https://www.mixcloud.com/soulboymark/hinckley-leisure-centre-all-niter-live-december-1983/ Cheers, Mark R

Did I miss something? LOL Cheers, Mark R

I trust yiu mate.......and Dee must be further on in the recording then....... Cheers, Mark R

Hi Tim, To my thoughts Harpo's accent is stronger than that, but listening back again I can see that it could well be. Anyway, when you say Dee Edwards, if you mean the first track, it's this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wv7DZZ-0VYk Cheers, Mark R

Thought you might! ! Cheers, Mark R

Hi all, I used to go to the Old Vic a lot, and have this recording from Christmas 1986 to share with you. It's mainly guys spot, but if anyone can identify other jocks I would be grateful.............I think early on it's Pep, and later some more local guys as the accent's quite strong! Hope you enjoy it.....I think these things are great............ https://www.mixcloud.com/soulboymark/old-vic-wolverhampton-all-dayer-28-december-1986/ Cheers, Mark R

Top of the class Mr. G.......I hadn't spotted that.........possibly because it's now September! Cheers, Mark R

Roburt, these cuts are from the album which Cliff Steele told you was a no brainer at Cleethorpes. .....as you recall, Fish had sold out of the title. Now you can have a fix on vinyl! ! Cheers, Mark R

Thanks for listing them Chalky, appreciated mate. Solved one or two mysteries for me too! Cheers, Mark R

As promised on the Facebook "I Used To Go To Stafford All Niters" group, and especially in return for all of Chalky's sterling work with his podcasts etc, I have now converted an 80's Keb Darge C90 cassette into digital format............enjoy!! https://www.mixcloud.com/soulboymark/keb-darge-6ts-soul-sounds-1980s-you-are-here/ Cheers, Mark R

It would appear that my lengthy reply which went missing actually got re-directed to you! LOL Anyway, we need you back mate.......definitely! Cheers, Mark R

Oh well, I've just lost my fairly lengthy reply I was drafting in Word so you'll understand that I've lost my enthusiasm to reply. I hope it returns later.........LOL Cheers, Mark R
